Bollywood HUNGER GAMES

The Hunger Games just released this weekend. For those of you who have seen the movie or read the books...who would you pick to play the main parts in a Bollywood version? Obviously age wise, the bollywood version would have characters a little older since there are not many teenagers in the industry...

I would pick the following:

Katniss:
Kareena Kapoor (she has really strong features/jawline and Katniss is a strong female character)
Priyanka Chorpra (second choice, but again has a strong look)

Peeta:
Shahid Kapoor (he has that innocence and sweetness that Peeta has)

Gale:
Imran Khan (or any bollywood hunk who is young)

Effie:
Raveena Tandon/Manisha Koirala (the character is of an older woman who is particular and somewhat quirky)

Haymitch:
Sanjay Dutt (the caring drunk)

Cinna:
Farhan Akthar (the cool laid back creative stylist)

Who would you guys pick?

mine is better

katniss: deepika padukone(she has that innocence in oso)
peeta: imran khan
gale: rana dugubatti
effie: rani mukherjee
haymitch: irrfan khan
cinna: saif ali khan

kareena and priyanka chopra should play deepika's rivals.

This would be fun.
Let the games begin.

great suggestions guys! i never thought of lilette for effie but she would be great!

It's so much easier casting for the older characters because...like I said before...there are hardly any teenage actors!

We need more child/teenage actors...there will be so many more movie ideas out there and different kinds of genres that all bolly fans can enjoy...

I'm stunned by the answers!!! Kareena, Deepika, Priyanka for Katniss? :O You guys do know that Katniss is SIXTEEEN...NONE of these girls would be right for Katniss. I can't even imagine, nor do i want to, anyone from bollywood playing any of these characters. Im a big fan of the books ... bollywood can NEVER make anything even close to it.
This topic has me realized that bollywood don't have any teenage actors! They definitely need more talent in the industry.

If Bollywood had a Hunger Games this is what would happen:

1. No producer would make a big budget action movie starring a heroine so Peeta would become the main character and Katniss's screen time would be very much reduced.

2. Even though Peeta is a 16 year old boy he will be played by some 40+ uncle actor.

3. However Katniss will be a young girl for sure. Because Bollywood never gives importance to talent for actresses, they will not cast a talented actress like Jennifer Lawrence instead they will cast some bikini bimbo who cannot even speak Hindi or act and will most probably be a failed model from Russia or Czech Republic or Canada.

4. Somehow there will be at least one item song. And throughout the movie Katniss will be wearing booty shorts and tiny vests and padded bras.

5. Katniss will be too scared and stupid to save herself and will sit around waiting for the hero uncle to rescue her.

6. The actions sequences will be really tacky, cheap effects and when the male fashion designer comes in to dress Katniss up there will be at least 5 stupid gay jokes.

In short: Bollywood can never make a movie anywhere close to Hunger Games. Please do not ruin it.

who says bollywood will ruin it? hollywood is no different from bollywood...yes there are many amazing hollywood movies, but there are also many great hollywood movies. Furthermore, the action in hunger games is very possible in bollywood if you have watched don 2, ra.one, etc. Oh, and don't judge bollywood just because you've seen all the big releases. If you actually watched some of the lesser known films that rarely make it to cinema but are still bollywood, you would know that there are MANY more great indian films that you havn't given a chance to.

katniss : deepika padukone (strong features, right ?)
peeta : imran khan
gale : ranveer singh
effie : vidya balan
haymitch : sanjay dutt
cinna : abhay deol

--------------

BEST one.. Just think of Deepika with the bow and arrow~~! Gives me the chills!

i agree iwth the person who said you need someone younger for katniss (and gale and peeta)...I don't know any younger actresses who have the acting talent and strong looks to pull of a role like this in bolly...besides...bollywood is the land where a 40+ aamir khan played a college student in 3 idiots...they'd make it all work im sure

I agree...Emraan would make a great Cinna! That was actually a hard one to think of because lenny kravitz fit the role so well!

Vidhya balan would make a great effie too...

who is ayushmann?

Anonymous's picture

so where r we? we r letting Kareena and Priyanka to do 17yrs old's role?
I am sure there r plenty of talented girls out there..we can't think beyond what we have....because we r jealous of new people taking over old one....yes we r that crazy-fans of old celebrities///
excuse grammar plz

please dont post answers and responses until you have read the books and understood the characters more

Are you kidding me? Kareena looks older than Katniss' MOTHER. Just stop...you people are embarrassing. Indian crap shouldn't even touch the Hunger Games. Anyways, if I had to pick someone, I'd pick Priyanka/Sonam...they have a young look and seem like they can carry off action parts.

To the topic poster: worst choices ever. Wow. Its a bit crazy actually how terrible the casting is.

Katniss: Anushka a clear win, or the lead girl from Mujse Fraandship Karoge

Peeta: A younger more buffed up Siddarth

Gale: A roughened up and subtler Ranveer Singh. The newcomer Arjun Kapoor may also suffice.

Haymitch: A beaten down Shah Rukh Khan would be perfect

Seneca Crane: Saif

President Snow: Naseerudin Shah

Cinna: hmm. Krunal Kapoor maybe.

Effie: Paraneeti Chopra

Both Kareena and Priyanka are too old to play Katniss....need a new fresh face for that role....ALSO LETS NOT RUIN THIS MOVIE BY MAKING A BOLLYWOOD VERSION...

Anonymous's picture

I would pick the following:

Katniss:
Prachi Desai- She has a younger look. Katniss is just a girl.. I think kareena would be a good choice- minus 10 years.

Peeta:
Someone gullible and vulnerable yet strong as hell - Ayushmann (the host)- after hes slimmed down to be a bit scrawny and less bulky.

Gale:
kunal kapoor- hes hunky and cute and would look good with prachi.

Effie:
Raveena Tandon/Manisha Koirala (the character is of an older woman who is particular and somewhat quirky)

Haymitch:
Sanjay Dutt (the caring drunk) ; great choice
I also think Jackie Shroff would do really well.

Cinna: This one is harder...
Farhan Akthar (the cool laid back creative stylist)
Emraan hashmi - hes sexy looking and looks like he would do well in a sympathetic clothes designer part.

Who would you guys pick?

Anonymous's picture

bahaha. aren't the first 3 a bit too old for the characters?
